Find Data Usage Per Network in Windows 10

Windows 10 is able to collect and show the network data usage. The operating system can display the network data amount consumed by Windows, Windows Update, Store and other apps from the last 30 days. In this article, we'll see how to view this information per a network.

The network usage and bandwidth monitoring in Windows 10 has been improved since it was first introduced in the Windows 8 OS. Now it includes data for all apps, showing the stats for both Desktop and Store apps. The stats are shown for a 30-day period of time.

It is a good idea to see which apps are consuming your bandwidth heavily. This is useful information for users who are on a limited data plan. The stats can be interesting for all users to keep them informed about which apps use the network or internet the most.

Starting with Windows 10 version 1803, codenamed "Redstone 4", you can see the network data usage for a specific network. A refined user interface on the appropriate Settings page now comes with a network list. Using it, you can quickly differentiate your wired, wireless and bluetooth connections and their statistics. Here is how it can be done.
